lyrics

I try to look my best for, for where I'll be
In a few hours it's over, oh the heart inside of me
Tells me it's wrong when I'm sober
Should be on the floor keeled over
But I've got to watch myself tonight

In the distance I saw myself
Younger than now but still the same
Had the same eyes but had less wealth
But I was happy being without the fame

How could it happen just like this
News hit the doormat hard to hit me in the chest
I can hear the walls are talking
And there is failure lurking
Their whispers are so loud and hate me

In the distance I saw myself
Younger than now but still the same
Had the same eyes but had less wealth
But I was happy being without the fame

Close your damn eyes you keep peeking through
Am I worth this, and everything I do?
My distress flare just brings them in
I'm in trouble and I just, just can't win
